In November, a German tabloid unearthed a 1905 letter from Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, in which he begged German authorities not to deport him. The handwritten letter—originally in German—has now been translated and published in the latest issue of Harper's.
The elder Trump first emigrated to the US from the Bavarian town of Kallstadt in the German Empire in 1885 at the age of 16, illegally skipping out on mandatory military service (sounds familiar). That move lost him his citizenship, and he later became a US citizen where he made his fortune running brothels and bars during the Yukon gold rush.
Trump returned to his homeland in the early 1900s, but he was scheduled to be deported because of his draft-dodging history.

Oh how I wish they would have let him stay in Germany
What did i say that made you ask that? I see no words equating to "lie" in my post.

Not saying laws should be ignored. These are different times I understand. But compassion, understanding, respect is much needed here.

I think it's important to remind those who are quick to support him over whatever he says. He comes from a long line of s***holers himself and so do millions of others.
